Tradewind Book’s new release, The Freezies, is listed as one of three recommended middle grade books about war, refugees, and survival for ages 7-12 by The Children’s Book Review.
“This is a beautiful story about the power of young people to raise awareness and encourage empathy.“
Written by Farrukh Dhondy, the book follows Suleikha, Leo and Kai, a group of 12-year-olds known as the Freezies, as they befriend the intriguing and larger-than-life Mr Christaki, a traveller who camps with his converted school bus on their village green. The Freezies eventually learn that Mr Christaki is a Syrian refugee and, together, the group of kids develop a scheme to prevent his deportation.
